Description
The SSID is also known as the wireless network name.
Enter a 32-character (maximum) name in this field. The
characters are case-sensitive.
In a setting where there is more than one wireless
network, different wireless network names provide a
means for separating the traffic. Any device you want to
participate in a wireless network must use the SSID.
Specify the region where the gateway will operate.
The wireless channel used by the gateway. The default
is channel 1.
You should not need to change the wireless channel
unless you experience interference (shown by lost
connections and/or slow data transfers). Should this
happen, you may need to experiment with different
channels to see which is the best.
